How quiet is the fan? Is it noisy?

It is very quite. I barely know it's running. I have it on top of my computer facing back into the cabinet to provide additional cooling and air circulation.

It's actually so quiet I forget it's on and don't turn it off before leaving the room. Extremely quiet.

We use ours in conjunction with a desktop computer, so they seem very quiet by comparison. They're small and plastic so there isn't much to rattle or make much noise. :)

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.

It's pretty quiet with the fan running. It's virtually silent with the fan turned off.

Unit has three different fan speed settings to help with noise. But my opinion is no, unit is not excessively loud. It is in my bedroom, I sleep with it on low.

It's pretty quiet. I wouldn't record webcam videos and stuff with it 'cause it does make background noise, but it's not bad at all. About the same as any box fan. The one thing (that's been mentioned in several reviews) is the USB cable has a tendency to get pushed into the fan blades a little bit, at which point it makes a high-pitched grating sound, but tug on the USB cable gently from the back and that's solved quickly. It is a tad unnerving though.

It is a very quiet and nice fan. it comes with screws. there is no vibrations when you screw the fan to the computer.

Good question, actually the fan is very quiet and doesn't seem to drown out much in the way of sound.

It is about as "loud" as my desktop computer. All you hear is a slight "breeze" coming from the motor's fan. It isn't bothersome at all.

Not noisy at all. I watch tv, YouTube videos and music on my computer while I am riding my bike. It's more quiet than my AC.

Fan noise is not that bad; at least for the 3-cell, 120 G model I bought. It's as quiet as a normal laptop computer.

I consider this fan quiet. Even at low speed (on #1 setting) the fan pushes a lot of air.

This fan is not noisy, can hardly hear it. I have 4 different types of usb fans and this one is the quietest

This fan is quiet, however this is a circulation fan it has more power than normal fans. I have it on low on my night stand while sleeping

It is pretty quiet. It sounds like a quiet fan blowing. Nothing more than that.

I think the fan is about as silent as it gets. I have noticedno noise whatsoever. You do have to keep the vents on the back clear or it will heat up way too fast. I use mine primarily for MusicReader software for performance and I am happy with it. That said it isn't TOTALLY silent, but mine is very close.

It's probably about as quiet as a box fan but in general, this fan is not quiet. I find the lowest setting to push too much air and is too noisy.
